DWI

South Texas DWI/DUI Defense Lawyers

If you are arrested for and charged with DWI/DUI, you must promptly attempt to speak with an attorney. There are specific time lines you must meet in order to protect your driving privileges. If you fail to act quickly, you may lose the chance to contest these charges. At Serna & Serna in San Antonio, Texas, we know this because we have been defending people against DWI/DUI charges since 1992. For more information about defending yourself against a drunk driving charge, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.

People who fail to act jeopardize their chances of protecting their driving privileges. Under Texas law, you only have 15 days from the date of arrest to request an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing with the Texas Department of Public Safety. If you fail to request a revocation hearing, your driver's license will be suspended automatically.

An ALR hearing is your chance not only to prevent a driver's license suspension, but also to get a better look at the state's case against you. These hearings allow us to subpoena the arresting officer and the evidence surrounding your case. Act now to prevent yourself from having to contend with driving on a suspended driver's license.

Besides dealing with administrative licensing process, you will also have to deal with the criminal implications of a DWI/DUI. We will represent you throughout all stages of a criminal trial, from initial appearance all the way through postconviction relief. With over 35 years of combined criminal defense experience, we are capable of defending you against:

• First-time DWI charges
• Second-time DWI charges
• Felony DWI charges
• Charges related to a drunk driving accident
